How times do change!

Back in 1964 I was in my second year at University. One day,  a friend and I were walking up the Main Street with his mother. Passing a greengrocer's shop we spotted a pear, the like of which we had never seen before. It was prodigiously expensive but it was bought for us to share. Back home we cut it in half and bit into it with great anticipation, expecting a wonderful sweet treat. How very disappointed we were!
